RE: A Sandburg Stumper
No Googling, please.
Read this quote from Sandburg: I am a child of time. I celebrate the dignity, importance and pathos of time. Time used me with snow and rain, wind and frost, rust and rot, till I was falling away. Unless loving and thoughtful hands had come to help me I would have prepared to vanish and become dust in the wind, a shattered form and a forgotten melody, a house melted into thin shadows. Sandburg uses the word "house" here, but he was not talking about a house. What building was he speaking of? Best Rob Abraham Lincoln is the only man, dead or alive, with whom I could have spent five years without one hour of boredom. --Ida M. Tarbell
I want the respect of intelligent men, but I will choose for myself the intelligent. --Carl Sandburg
